Banter & Big Bites

Slow Cooker Thai Curry Chicken

While I know it’s only January 10th, I’ll say that this recipe is best meal I’ve made this year. And, lemme tell yeah, I made a delicious lamb and prune stew on Saturday night during the snow storm. That was supposed to be witty and funny – but there’s nothing funny about lamb and prunes.

I’ve never been able to sharpen my skills in Asian cuisine so I typically shy away from recipes of this sort. However, this recipe peaked my interest and I decided to break my rules (2017 motto – there are no rules anymore).

The brillance of this recipe is it’s easy prep. You literally can throw almost all of the ingredients in the slow cooker and step away for six hours. Little preparation; very few dishes later. I was surprised how delicious this recipe was with interesting garnishes including fresh pomegranate arils, peanuts, cilantro, thai basil and limes wedges.

This is beautiful enough to serve at a dinner party but easy enough to make on a hectic work day.
